Dark-sky principles, spectrum effects, and timing strategies for wildlife-friendly gardens.
About
I translate research on spectrum, timing, and shielding into simple steps that protect pollinators and neighbors' sleep. Expect warm-spectrum picks, timers, and placement that preserves stars and sense of sanctuary.
Background
While logging bat activity near a community garden, I noticed moths swarming a cool-white path light and ignoring the warm, shielded one nearby. The difference was immediate: fewer insects trapped, less skyglow, happier stargazers. Since then, every pick balances safety with spectrum, shielding, and quiet respect for night.
Perspective
I choose warm, shielded, and time-limited lighting even if brighter options exist.
